Report: Steelers’ Ryan Shazier Has Movement In Legs, Cannot Walk On His Own

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Ryan Shazier reportedly has some movement in his legs, but cannot yet walk on his own.

A report from ESPN posted Sunday said that sources reported Shazier was able to move his legs and was “engaging in a regular walking routine,” with one source saying Shazier is “making incredible progress.”

Sports reporter Michele Tafoya later tweeted that Shazier wanted to clarify that he cannot yet walk on his own.

He reportedly does have movement in his legs, but he still needs to use a walker or needs help from other people to support him while he’s walking. The statement said his rehabilitation walking “remains a struggle.”
